With the sudden turn in the market away from SUVs and pickup trucks, rumor had it that General Motors will be bringing the subcompact Chevrolet Beat to the U.S. to help satisfy the new for small, fuel-efficient vehicles.
Oops. Automotive World reports the General Motors has cancelled the move to the U.S. Instead, the Beat will replace the Chevy Spark/Matiz in various overseas markets. Apparently the expense to make the Beat U.S. crash-compliant was too much.
